Ford gained notoriety for leveling unproven accusations of sexual assault against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Ford’s accusations were used by Democrats in Washington to destroy the career of now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

However, Ford’s unsubstantiated accusations aside, Denhollander is the epitome of bravery for standing up to Nassar and the powerful USA Gymnastics organization.

“Denhollander filed a federal lawsuit against Nassar at the U.S. District Court for the Western District for Michigan, Sports Illustratedwrote in its announcement of the award. “Two-hundred and fifty-one other former gymnasts, along with 23 husbands of gymnasts, also brought up claims consolidated into her suit.”

With Denhollander’s testimony leading the way, nearly 300 women came forward to accuse Nassar of assault. The doctor was eventually convicted of multiple assaults and sentenced to 175 years in prison.
